My wifi works just fine. I have: 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen kernel. I installed: 1. ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen-1.2.15-14.fc6.at.i686.rpm 2. ipw3945d-1.7.22-4.at.i386.rpm 3. ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen-1.1.0-15.fc6.at.i686.rpm 4. ipw3945-ucode-1.13-2.at.noarch.rpm 5. I needed to copy the modules into a new updated Kernel (after system update with yum). After this: 1.modprobe ipw3945 2.ipw3945d Now you should see after "ifconfig" a new device, probably "eth1". I didn't succeeded to configure a wifi with "Control Center Manager", but after using "iwconfig", it's working just fine. So: 1. "iwlist scanning": will show you existing wifi networks. 2. "iwconfig eth1 essid Frick": Frick is my wifi network name 3. "iwconfig eth1 key 92b3-ff03-4c26-377d-53ab-a2a4-c4": It's my WAP key Good luck, Dan David Dembrow wrote: > Nil, > Yes I have also install the ipw3945-firmware package. > The NetworkManager gui looks the same as what system-config-network > launches and it also complains about no link after a short probe for > an ip address. > > ---d.dembrow > > Nil Gradisnik wrote: >> Try using NetworkManager. >> You can activate it from GNOME menu System->Administration->Services, >> find NetworkManager there, make sure you check it and activate the >> service by clicking Start button. >> >> The icons should appear in the notification area.

(FWIW: Windows XP does see this modem and connect OK.) I was using the GUI for setting up the network, but was also playing around directly with the wvdial.conf file and running wvdial; I believe that the problem is that I am not selecting the right device, but no matter which one I keep getting told "Can't find modem" or the like.

In general: You need to burn ISO image from the distribution FC6 image. After this you just booting your notebook (from the CD of course) and should see FC6 GUI interface. You can use of course Linux burning program, like "K3b". Just go to the "Tools -> Burn CD image (or DVD)", select the image and burn it.

I use "rsync -Pavy --delete-after" for my /home partition, plus a couple extra things like /etc and some parts of /var. I usually also grab a list of installed packages. There are many cool ways to keep version-controlled home directories, but I admit to not using them; the only older versions of things that usually interest me are already in version control systems like Fedora Docs or Extras CVS or my home SVN system. -- Paul W.

The b44 module is known not functional with xen kernels (it won't work if you use 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen and previous kernels) For reference please have a look at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/208242 One user complains that the b44 module still doesn't work for him with Dell Inspiron 6000 with the new kernel containing the fix: http://people.redhat.com/sct/packages/kernel/kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2857.4.2.fc6.0.2.sct/ even though it works almost for all other notebooks with Broadcom (HP in my case) so it seems like the whole Dell Inspiron series is somehow special..

The b44 module is known not functional with xen kernels (it won't work if you use 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen and previous kernels) For reference please have a look at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/208242 One user complains that the b44 module still doesn't work for him with Dell Inspiron 6000 with the new kernel containing the fix: http://people.redhat.com/sct/packages/kernel/kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2857.4.2.fc6.0.2.sct/ even though it works almost for all other notebooks with Broadcom (HP in my case) so it seems like the whole Dell Inspiron series is somehow special..

It seems that the b44 module actually "works" if you are able to see the dhcp server, but is unstable for some reason what may need investigation.

One of the update packages is the kernel. However, one typically does not replace the kernel unless it is a known good kernel - so the previous is always available in case the new kernel fails. In your case the 2798 kernel is the one before an update and the 2895 kernel is the one that was updated and should be used as the default. Hope that helps.

You have one installation of Fedora Core 6 on the machine, with two different (although not much) kernels installed. The second entry is probably the kernel that was installed when you installed Fedora, the first item (the default) is a newer kernel installed when you (or your system) installed available updates for your system. Nothing to worry about - you can remove the older kernel if you never use it, but it doesn't harm things to keep it around (or take up a lot of space either).

What do I > need to look for? Is it really that difficult to get it working?! So far as I know, the ipw2*** cards have a non-open-source firmware, so it cannot be shipped with Fedora. You need to download the firmware and install it in your system. Recomendation: use livna. rpm.livna.org (They have the rpm packages for the firmware you need) > > cheers > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Pregunt?. Respond?.

I just installed Fedora 6 on my IBM thinkpad 600x. I'm a computer engineer by trade and have often worked in Unix development environments, but this is my first foray into the realm of Linux. I have a dlink DWL-650 (revB) PCMCIA wireless card which I want to use to connect to the internet. My labtop is pretty useless to me if I cant get online. Trouble is I can not seem to be able to find a linux driver for this card. I queried DLINK and got forwarded to the madwifi.org site. But their drivers only seem to work with a Atheros chipset, which I do not have. I tried anyways and sure enough the make failed. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might be able to make my DWL-650 card work with Linux? Does anybody know of PCMCIA wireless cards that come with linux drivers/support?

Atheros chipset should work "out of the box", or at least it was so for me. Try livna repository. They have prebuild modules.

The wireless connection doesnot work. The airo driver seems to be present but the NetworkManager fails to configure this adapter. I have done a bit of googling and found a few old threads which recomend downgrading the wireless adapters' firmware. Is this a necessity even now? I did download from cisco website the linux-acu-driver-v21.tar.gz driver, but it fails to compile on this machine. Any ideas on how to get this working? Thanks for your help.
